Nope. It's a reaction to "who the f* asked for this in a messaging app?!".

Text isn't the only thing I want to be able to send to people. I wish there were a universal "send thing" api that could be implemented for text, images, money, whatever.

Unless you have your head thoroughly buried in the sand, you'd understand that all the major players allow people to send money AND people are using those platforms to send money.

When people evaluate a new messaging client, the minimum feature set required to be considered viable now includes sending money for a lot of the population.

So if major players jump off a cliff, everyone should always follow?

? No, thank you. Not where the actual banking system is working.

Just because you don't like it or don't find it relevant in your local circle doesn't mean it is without value. Last time I traveled to Italy, hailing and paying for taxis was handled exclusively over OTT messaging.
